Overview of Public Unique IDs

When users create records in the database, the applications use document sequencing as they generate unique IDs for each business object record. These IDs are known as public unique IDs, or PUIDs. Understandably, these numbers aren't easy to read or use because of their length and complexity.

To overcome the issue of long IDs, you can make these IDs more user-friendly and readable during setup. See How do I set up public unique IDs (PUIDs)? for more information.
